Colloidal particles are between 1 nm and 1 000 nm.
Suspension have particles greater than 1 000 nm.
True solutions haven't particles undissolved.

A type of mixture with particles that are larger those in solutions but not heavy enough to settle out?

The type of mixture you are referring to is a colloid. Colloids have larger particles than those in solutions but are still small enough to remain dispersed and not settle out. Examples of colloids include fog and mayonnaise.


What is the difference between colloids and suspension?

colloids are intermixing of two sol.


Can mixtures be classified as solutions suspensions or colloids?

Yes, mixtures can be classified as solutions, suspensions, or colloids based on the size of the particles present. Solutions have particles that are very small and do not settle out, suspensions have larger particles that eventually settle, and colloids have intermediate-sized particles that do not settle but scatter light.


Colloids suspensions and solutions are all what?

You will be able to distinguishes suspensions form colloids and solutions because the suspensions components will separated. If a beam of light passing through a solution is not visible it is a Colloid.


What is the difference between a solution a colloid and a suspension?

Colloids are particles smaller than those in a suspension. The basic difference between a colloid and a suspension is the diameter of the particles dispersed. Colloids are generally 1 to 5 nanometers while suspensions are usually 1000 nanometers. Colloids are usually harder to detect / see with the naked eye or microscope for this reason. Gelatin, butter, smoke, and fog are examples. A muddy delta is an example of a suspension.

How do particles in solutions differ from those in suspension?

Particles in solutions are evenly distributed and small enough to not settle out or be filtered out easily. In contrast, particles in suspension are larger and will settle out over time or with filtration. Solutions are typically clear, while suspensions may appear cloudy or opaque due to the presence of suspended particles.

What do solutions suspensions and colloids have in common?

They are all something in something else. Suspensions are colloids. Colloids are something small dispersed in something else - solids in liquids (a suspension), gases in liquids, gases in solids etc etc Solutions are one phase - a liquid, but at least 2 compounds make up that phase.


A mixture can be classified as a solution suspension or colloid based on .?

Colloids are classified frequently as solutions because the particles have very small dimensions.
